V Ljubljani sta med 6. in 8. 11. 2019 potekala 54. srečanje in javni posvet ALTE (Association of Language Testers in Europe). Srečanje na temo Enojezično testiranje v večjezični realnosti: jezikovne ...ideologije in njihov vpliv na jezikovno testiranje sta organizirala Univerza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta in njen Center za slovenščino kot drugi in tuji jezik pri Oddelku za slovenistiko. V tem okviru je 8. 11. 2019 potekala okrogla miza (Bližnja) srečanja oblikovalcev jezikovne politike. Objavljamo zapis posnetka pogovora sodelujočih na dogodku.
The paper considers the possibility of rethinking and practising revolutionary politics in contemporaneity, through a look at the legacy of 20th-century revolutionary thought-practice and ...revolutionary events in the 21st century, which experiment with the constitution of revolutionary power without seizing the governmental power. Going from the historical situation, that the revolution “eats its children”, I argue that a true revolution does not mean taking power, but on the contrary, abolishing the instance of concentrated power. The revolution must be reconceived and put on the map of history as an emancipatory process of establishing a policy of equality, which is the creation of a universal space of politics for ‘all’ or ‘anyone’ without the Other. This presupposes the conceptualisation and redefinition of the revolutionary subject, the revolutionary method, and the revolutionary organization.
The text rethinks the emancipatory potential of the movements engaged in the uprisings during 2012–2013, the most powerful in the history of the independent Slovenia. Regardless of their ...organisational form, time of occurrence or number of members, what is in focus is their understanding of politics and the potential to establish strategies for political operation. The author derives from the fundamental axiom that serious consideration of politics necessarily involves consideration of the basic radical equality among people that is emancipatory politics. The analysis is based on interviews with 19 movements that were active during the uprisings and shows some tensions between those who were active are within the paradigm of ‘the possible’, where politics is understood as a rule, and those in the field of ‘the impossible’ that is inventing spaces for politics based on radical equality beyond the struggle for power.
Prispevek premišljuje emancipatorni potencial gibanj v vstajah 2012–2013, najbolj silovitih v zgodovini samostojne Slovenije. Ne glede na njihovo organizacijsko obliko (iniciativa, kolektiv, ...neformalno združenje, društvo, zavod, politična stranka …), čas nastanka ali številčnost je v središču predvsem njihovo razumevanje politike in potencial za razvoj strategij za politično delovanje. Pri tem avtorica izhajam iz temeljnega aksioma, da resen premislek o politiki nujno vključuje premislek o temeljni radikalni enakosti med ljudmi, to je politiki emancipacije, ki ji je inherentna egalitarna norma. Analiza temelji na intervjujih s sogovorniki iz 19 gibanj, aktivnih v času vstaj, in pokaže na nasprotja, ki so se vzpostavila med gibanji znotraj paradigme »možnega«, kjer je politika razumljena kot vladavina, in tista na področju »nemožnega«, to je izumljanja prostorov politike, ki bi temeljili na radikalni enakosti onkraj boja za oblast.
The article is trying to propose some of the starting points to rethinking some of the crucial elements of politics such as the emancipation potential of people, radical equality/democracy and just ...social order in the recent time of so-called global financial crisis, which is a direct consequence of the global, vulgar post-Fordist neo-liberal hegemony, through which the global market firmly established itself and introduced the market logic into all spheres of life - including. life itself! - while transforming the proletariat (the working class) into the precariat (the imperiled class living in uncertainty). The text is critically re-questioning the concepts of state, sovereignty and (consensual) democracy, i.e. the concepts that are taken for granted and considered unchangeable and finite, and consequently is raises the question of a (new) political subject and the ways to resist the brutal capital-driven system which, by producing and maintaining inequality, exploitation and control, with people having value only as cheap workforce or commodities, sustains the creation and preservation of global governance. Another related question proceeding from it is the question of (parliamentary) representation, advocacy or (Leftist) party organization. What has become of the idea of the (socialist) Left, which proverbially and historically worked towards justice, solidarity and equality? At the time of its total disintegration and the overwhelming domination of the Right, which is also or primarily, enabled by the Left itself the article suggesting the re-thinking of the Marxist, socialist and communist ideas in a new political context.
Tekst razmatra emancipacijski potencijal prosvjeda u Sloveniji (2012.–2013.). Ti se prosvjedi mogu promatrati kao lokalna manifestacija globalnog fenomena, koji se često susreće diljem
svijeta. ...Oslanjajući se na Badiouovo razumijevanje univerzalnog, prosvjedi u Sloveniji mogu se promatrati kao pojedinačni impuls univerzalne borbe potlačenih, ili, Rancièreovim riječima, »neubrojenih«. U vremenu koje Badiou opisuje kao »kapitalo parlamentarizam«, ovaj impuls otvara temeljna politička pitanja: problem pravednosti, jednakosti i života u zajednici. U radu se fokusiram na posebnu skupinu pobunjenika koji su sa svojim zahtjevima, sloganima i aktivnostima radikalizirali čitav proces pobune, gurajući ga u smjeru istinske politike jednakosti, te otvorili prostor stvarne političke subjektivacije, zahvaljujući razumijevanju i praksi politike kao pojedinačnog zahtjeva za univerzalnom valjanošću tvrdnji.
Background: Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a biomarker involved in a wide range of diseases including cardiac remodeling following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Identification of prognostic markers in ...patients with AMI can guide strategies towards improved survival and quality of life. Methods: Our study included 59 patients with AMI and a preserved ejection fraction. We determined the Gal-3 plasma concentration within 24 h of chest pain onset from the aortic root, femoral/radial artery, coronary sinus and cubital vein. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) were evaluated at six months follow-up. Results: MACE at six months post-AMI was recorded in 20 patients (34%). The Gal-3 plasma concentration from the aortic root and the femoral/radial artery were independent predictors of MACE at six months follow-up after the first AMI (OR 1.228; 95%CI: 1.011–1.491; p = 0.038; OR 3.438; 95%CI: 1.275–9.265; p = 0.015). ROC analysis identifies the Gal-3 plasma concentration from the aortic root as a better predictor of MACE or death (cut-off ≥ 10.86 ng/mL; AUC 0.858; 95%CI: 0.744–0.973; p < 0.001) than Gal-3 plasma concentration from the femoral/radial artery (cut-off ≥ 10.18 ng/mL; AUC 0.742; 95%CI: 0.596–0.888; p = 0.006). Conclusion: the Gal-3 plasma concentration in patients with AMI determined during coronary angiography, especially from the aortic root, within 24 h after chest pain onset is a valuable biomarker of prognosis at six months follow-up.
